Dad: Hello Laura! How are you doing? Hope you are cool? Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with stuffs in my mail.
Laura: Don't worry, I got busy during the day too. Nothing much! Anyways, my hubby left the house around 11am this morning, he left Jason behind.
Dad : OKay, I've worked on how he will be tracked so keep calm OK.
Laura: Hmmm, seriously Rex I'm running out of patience. I can't watch my husband cheat right in my face while I sit and watch. This is unbearable! I am seriously loosing it. Can't believe my hubby is doing this to me! No one could believe he is doing this!
Dad: Take it Easy Laura, we need enough evidence to track them down, we can't do anything now since we both have little info about their relationship. So keep calm OK. We will definitely work this out! I myself, I am not finding it funny! I will definitely get them tracked down!

(Police gives info about Nina and Louis at the hotel with pictures of their cars sent to Rex).
Rex called Nina that night throughout and her lines were off. Laura did same and Louis's lines were off too.
Laura was worried so she sent a text to her husband and it reads.
*I don't know why your lines are off, but I just hope u are fine. Nevertheless, I'm beginning to suspect you. Seems you are cheating on me*
Rex called a friend to help get him the permit from his wife. A health worker so he can drive through town. Which he got.
